4A State Champions
Michael Dominguez
<p>-February 23rd Gila River Arena</p>
<p>Shadow Mountain entered the game with a lot of energy, as usual. I wouldn't expect anything less from a team led by Jaelen House. This was going to be the last time the dynamic duo of Blacksher and House took the floor together. Deer Valley had a great season but as I predicted, the Shadow Mountain press would be too much for the Deer Valley guards and hurt them offensively. Shadow Mountain won the game 64-38.</p>
<p>The Shadow Mountain squad finished the regular season 17-1 overall, 14-0 in conference play, and 10-0 in region play. Here are some key wins throughout the season:</p>
